Right after shacharit, rather than being shuttled off to class as they normally would, the entire student body was seated in the auditorium, big kids in folding chairs and little kids sitting criss-cross on the ground — when they could actually be cajoled into sitting. Teachers and administrators milled about as the exquisitely groomed star of the assembly scrabbled on the slippery wooden floor on all fours, panting and yelping, clad in tiny pink bows the same color as her extended tongue. Adults shushed hopelessly as Brooklyn the Tibetan terrier, the Best Female Tibetan Terrier at the most recent Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York, prepared for a special stop on her victory tour.

Jewish Life TV was look- ing to star three Jewish grand- mothers, or bubbies, in a new series where they’d pair con- testants up with one of three potential suitors for a date. A handful of applicants were brought in for the live audition. It was there lead producer Brad Pomerance and his crew learned that one of the potential cast members, Kathleen “Bunny” Gibson, was raised Catholic and only recently learned she was half Ashkenazi Jewish. “And I just thought that was the most interesting, unique, compelling story and really could potentially add a lot to our show,” Pomerance said. “Sure, we could bring on three traditionally Jewish grand- mothers … but I want to see how this would play.” Gibson, 73, grew up in Philadelphia and has decades worth of small acting roles to her credit. She has appeared on shows like Glee and How I Met Your Mother. But after all these years, Gibson is best known for hav- ing been part of the original cast of teen dancers on Dick Clark’s television sensation, American Bandstand, from 1959 to 1961. The TV star was raised Catholic by her mother and adoptive step- father. She never got the chance to know her biological father. With her mother passing when Gibson was 27, his identity was lost. A year ago she decided to take a DNA test from Ancestry.com with hope of finding a connection to him. To her shock, Gibson discovered something else. The test showed she was 50 percent Ashkenazi Jewish, most likely from her mother’s side. She was in disbelief — so much so that she took a second DNA test from 23andMe. But the results were the same. Gibson 4 FEBRUARY 28, 2019 had no clue of her Jewish heri- tage growing up, although she did always wonder why no one else in school liked bagels with lox as much as she did. “It was a total shock, just because it rocked my under- standing of my identity,” Gibson said. “Growing up, it was like we’re Christian and you’re Jewish, and it was always that division when I was young. I feel now that I embody both of them, that I embody both heritages.” Gibson has gotten the chance to learn a lot about the Jewish religion and culture from her fellow bubbies, S.J. Mendelson and Linda Rich, along with the contestants on Bubbies Know Best. She now tries to incorpo- rate Yiddish into her everyday vocabulary, with “oy vey” being one of her new favorite things to say. The two bubbies have embraced Gibson and even invited her over for dinner. “I feel like now Bubbie Linda and Bubbie S.J, they’re my new sisters,” Gibson said. “I feel like I’ve found a fam- ily in this Jewish community. I’ve learned their warmth, their openness and their love for me, and that is so beautiful.” Pomerance said he appre- ciates Gibson’s enthusiasm to learn and embrace the culture. It’s heartwarming to him when she tries to speak the language, even when she stumbles on the pronunciation. He’s even impressed by her humor. “For somebody who didn’t grow up Jewish.” Pomerance said, “her humor actually feels Jewish. She has a lot of that Jewish humor, that sticky Catskill-type humor, but I don’t know where it comes from. Maybe it’s genetic, who knows.” The show marks the sec- ond time in Gibson’s life that she’s been embraced by the Jewish community. While on Bandstand, Gibson was often bullied and harassed by her fellow classmates at Holy Cross Academy in New Jersey and at St. Hubert Catholic High Kathleen “Bunny” Gibson (back right) in a promotional photo from Bubbies Know Best Bunny Gibson’s prom photo School. With rock ‘n’ roll con- sidered taboo by many at the time, students at the Catholic school shunned her. Gibson recalls nuns ripping out her beehive hairdo, cutting her nails with pinking shears and dragging her down the hallway by her hair. Despite the harassment, she was going to be on Bandstand no matter what. But after receiv- ing death threats, she decided it was time for a change. Enter Northeast High School. One of Philly’s oldest high schools, at the time it was home to a large Jewish stu- dent population. It was this community that Gibson said gave her acceptance. They wel- comed her with open arms, and she was quite popular among them. She even went to her senior prom with a Jewish boy named Bob Shuman. “Quickly, when they found out who I was, instead of walk- ing down the hallway and having people say these nasty remarks, I had teens look up to me as a Bandstand star,” Gibson JEWISH EXPONENT Photos provided said. “They appreciated that I had the chutzpah to go to Bandstand during a time when, in the ’50s, it was looked as dancing to the devil’s music, rock ‘n’ roll. But they thought it was wonderful.” Today, Gibson proudly wears a Star of David necklace when- ever out and about. What she likes most about Jewish culture is how family is at the center of everything. Gibson’s family has also embraced its newly found cultural identity, includ- ing her two daughters, four grandchildren and two great- grandchildren. She appreciates how every- one has been so welcoming of her being “new to the tribe”, as Gibson puts it. One day she hopes to cross off visiting Israel and her 11 relatives who live there from her bucket list. Pomerance said the network is airing the first six episodes of Bubbies Know Best, with a sec- ond batch to begin production in the coming months. He said Gibson’s story shows how wel- coming the Jewish community can be to new members. “It was a tough 20th cen- tury; we don’t have a lot of Jews to waste. And so if someone wants to be part of the tribe, we should welcome them with open arms,” Pomerance said. “I’m just glad that a national television network could do that and, in a lot of ways, demonstrate how easy it is to welcome and accept others.” l Eric Schucht is a freelance writer. JEWISHEXPONENT.COM H EADLINES Former 6abc GM Larry Pollock Dies at 86 O B I TUA RY SELAH MAYA ZIGHELBOIM | JE STAFF LARRY POLLOCK, the former general manager of 6abc whose leadership helped make it the market’s dominant news chan- nel, died Jan. 31. He was 86. In Philadelphia, he was “the architect of the modern Channel 6,” Action News anchor Jim Gardner said in 6abc’s video of his passing. Pollock arrived at WPVI-TV in 1975 and trans- formed Channel 6 and Action News. He knew that audiences responded best to people, so he brought on the right talent and put them in the right places. “He did very well, but he genuinely enjoyed it,” daughter Jackie Kane said. “He liked the challenges.” Pollock grew up in the Bronx, Larry Pollock Photo provided N.Y. He attended Th e City College of New York and started his 45-year career at ABC in 1956, serving as manager of research for ABC Radio and director of adver- tising and research for WABC-TV, ABC’s television network in New York City. He met his wife, Carol Pollock, at the Catskills. (“Ours was a ‘mixed’ marriage,” Lawrence joked in 2013. Carol Pollock was from Brooklyn.) Th e two married in 1959. Carol Pollock died in 2013. In 1963, he moved to Albany, N.Y. to join Capital Cities. Leaving New York City, espe- cially for a job at a smaller media company, was an eyebrow-raiser, but that small media company bought ABC in 1985 and then was bought, in turn, by Th e Walt Disney Co., which rebranded it as the Disney-ABC Television Group in 1996. At ABC, Pollock worked his way up through the ranks. He moved to Buff alo, where he was vice president and general manager of WKBW-TV. Th en, in 1975, his career took him and his family to Philadelphia. He started there as vice pres- ident and general manager for WPVI-TV, then became president and general manager. In 1991, Pollock was appointed president of Capital Cities/ABC station group. He retired in 2000. “He believed very strongly in doing the right thing, and that getting ahead in business and life had to be done the right way or it wasn’t worth doing,” son David Pollock said. Pollock was also involved in civic organizations and philan- thropy. He was a longtime fan of the Buff alo Bills and Buff alo Sabres. His family knew him as a good storyteller. Much of his philan- thropy was focused on the Jewish community, particu- larly the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia and the Abramson Center for Jewish Life. He served as president of the Jewish Publishing Group, on the board of trustees of the Jewish Federation and as a board member of Main Line Reform Temple. “When you hear about what leading a Jewish life is — hon- esty and integrity and being philanthropic and mitzvahs and stuff — he had a strong sense of ethics,” Kane said. “He really did. He was generous.” Pollock is survived by his brother Michael Plancher and his wife Marilyn Plancher; sister-in- law June Hirsh; daughter Jackie Kane and her husband David Kane; daughter Debbi Lindenberg and her husband Howard Lindenberg; son David Pollock and grandchildren Michael Kane, William Kane, Jessica Lindenberg and Nicky Lindenberg. ● szighelboim@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 NAME: MEADOWOOD SR LIVING:C/O VARSITY; WIDTH: 9.25 IN; DEPTH: 5.5 IN; COLOR: BLACK PLUS ONE; AD NUMBER: 00083301 THE GROVE AT Discover The Grove.

After graduating from Boston University, she had a sense of wanting to “help” in some way; she just didn’t have a “how” yet. She landed an intern- ship at the office of then-Phila- delphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham, where she “fell in love with the work.” Early on, she sat in on a trial where she watched a prosecu- tor make a closing argument in a murder case. “It was riveting,” she said. “Watching him advocate for justice on behalf of the victim and the survivors, his family, was so awe inspiring I was hooked instantaneously.” As she spent more time in the internship, she found that sort of sense of justice to be exactly what she had been seeking. “There was this incredible sense of unity and support for victims, and the idea of advo- cating for justice for someone who has been harmed in some fashion by a team of people who really cared about doing the right thing was inspiring,” she said. “The people I had worked with or for were amazingly kind, generous, smart people who really just wanted to help the community in some way.” NAME: HCR MANOR CARE/ARDEN COURT; WIDTH: 5.5 IN; DEPTH: 7.38 Tuesday IN; COLOR: BLACK PLUS ONE; AD NUMBER: 00083407 March 5th March 19th Memory Café Hosted by Arden Courts 10:00 am to 11:00 am Barnes and Noble (in the Starbucks) 210 Commerce Boulevard Fairless Hills, PA 19030 RSVP for this event by calling (215) 321-6166 or e-mailing Yardley@arden-courts.com Wednesday March 6th 10:00 am to 11:00 am Join us each month for coffee and conversation specifically for people with dementia and their caregivers.

Ryan, the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, moved around a lot when she was young, as her family followed her father’s job with General Electric from Massachusetts to Syracuse to Villanova, where they finally settled. Ryan attended Harriton High School and Har Zion Temple before leaving for Boston University. After she graduated law school in 1998, she joined the DA’s office in Philadelphia. Those were trying but exhil- arating days. “We dealt with so many dif- ferent kinds of crimes, we had an enormous caseload, and we tried a ton of cases every day there,” she said. Still, she found the expe- rience rewarding, especially when it came to the difficult work of combating childhood sexual abuse, an area that has come to be her calling card. In 2002, she had her second child and decided that she would stay at home for a few years. The family moved to Chester County and, for the next four years, Ryan worked part time as the chief operating officer at her mother’s nonprofit, Champions of Caring. The programs she ran encouraged children to become “social entrepreneurs,” creating action plans for bettering their communities and training them in skills like resume writing and public speaking. Still, the old life called. “I’m a prosecutor through and through,” she said. Deb Ryan Photo provided In 2006, she began working at the Chester County DA’s office as an assistant district attorney and spent the next decade rising up the ranks, earning promotions and awards from Hogan himself. In 2016, she started working at the Crime Victim Center of Chester County as the county coordi- nator for the Safe and Healthy Communities Initiative, working on a program to eradicate child sexual abuse through education. About a year ago, her friends in law enforcement began to tell her that she should con- sider running, a request she first rejected out of hand. They felt disrespected by the current administration, without sup- port, and looked to Ryan as the solution. “I’m not a politician,” she reasoned. But she’d think about it, she told them. Around then, she visited her brother in Israel, a reporter for The Jerusalem Post. “He looked at me and said, ‘You know you can do so much good for so many people if you do this,’ and I took that to heart.” A week later, he died unexpectedly. Ryan believes that the sense of justice instilled in her by her grandparents, teaching her and her brother to advocate for the marginalized in whatever way they could, still powers her. “I want to be the voice on behalf of victims and survivors,” she said. l jbernstein@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0740 1/21/19 2:26 PM JEWISH EXPONENT JEWISHEXPONENT.COM H eadlines Orthodox Parents of LGBTQ Kids Seek Inclusion NATION A L VICTORIA BROWN | JE FEATURE MINDY SAGER DICKLER’S guiding philosophy is ahavas Yisrael — love for fellow Jews. “There’s no exceptions. We have a responsibility to love one another and not to judge one another. Those should be over- riding principles,” said Dickler, president and co-founder of JPride Baltimore and an Orthodox mother of a gay child. “There certainly should be no room for homophobia any place in our society, including in our Orthodox communities.” Eshel, an organization devoted to promoting the acceptance of LGBTQ youth in the Orthodox community, recently published results from a survey conducted at its annual retreat in November. The report details the desires of parents of LGBTQ children. “We want you to know how we feel,” the report’s opening said, “and what you can do to change the often negative and sometimes bigoted viewpoints you express.” The survey, titled “Moving Forward: A Request from Orthodox Parents with LGBTQ Children,” found that 62 per- cent of LGBTQ children had left Orthodoxy (compared to the findings of a Pew study that 83 percent of Jewish adults raised Orthodox remain Orthodox). The survey found that par- ents felt that privately discuss- ing LGBTQ experiences with rabbis has not changed overall community mentalities toward LGBTQ individuals. The sur- vey cites the need for Orthodox institutions to reassess their stances on LGBTQ individuals in the community and “reach out to the broader community to begin a positive dialogue,” the survey said. More parents felt the messaging of national Orthodox organizations should change (37 percent) as opposed to the messaging of their pulpit rabbis (27.5 percent). The survey also found that every parent felt that day schools needed to be doing something different to address bullying and discrimination against LGBTQ children. More than 63 percent suggested mandated training for faculty and staff while just under 32 percent wanted schools to pub- lish an inclusion policy. “One of the biggest sur- prises for us is that the majority of parents want their children to be in a happy relationship, whether it’s a same-sex part- ner, or a partner of their choice, and not be celibate,” Eshel Executive Director Miryam Kabakov said. Dickler said that LGBTQ chil- dren of Orthodox families “have to make a choice between being a part of the LGBT community … and being affiliated with the Jewish community,” and that it shouldn’t be that way. The next steps toward greater equality and acceptance in Jewish Orthodox communities, Dickler said, are “in the hands of the rabbi and the Jewish leaders.” Kabakov hopes that rabbis take notice of the survey and rec- ognize that families of LGBTQ congregants want acceptance and inclusion from them. Other steps Kabakov hopes come out of the survey’s pub- lication include education for staff and faculty at Jewish day schools and a greater discus- sion among rabbis about the issues facing their LGBTQ congregants. Kabakov also hopes that rabbinic associa- tions will behave differerently with rabbis who are friendly to the LGBTQ community. She cited examples of the threats to remove a mashgiach’s cer- tification abilities and another rabbi’s ability to build an eruv. “They hold a lot of power and they use it to shut down discussions,” she said. Dickler is ready for the con- versation to change. “Time is up,” she said. “It’s time to create an understand- ing that [LGBTQ people] are in our communities, are in our families, they’re in our homes and they’re welcome just as much as any other Jew.” l Victoria Brown is a staff writer for the Baltimore Jewish Times, an affiliated publication of the Jewish Exponent.

Garthwait, who graduated from the college in 1982, wore the costume to an Alpha Chi Rho frater- nity party. Attendees were asked to dress as Hogan’s Heroes TV show characters. His costume included a red swastika armband. Garthwait apologized in a written statement. “I understand how disturbing this image is to members of the Gettysburg College community, and especially those who are Jewish. As a sophomore in 1980, I was not fully aware of the significance of those symbols,” he said. “While this is no excuse, I am deeply embarrassed and regret participating in this event where Nazi symbols were used.” Garthwait has contributed financially to the col- lege for many years and the Garthwait Leadership Center was named in his honor. protesting rising anti-Semitism there, about 100 grave- stones were found desecrated in a Jewish cemetery, JTA reported. The stones in a cemetery in the eastern French village of Quatzenheim were desecrated with blue spray-painted swastikas. French President Emmanuel Macron — who vis- ited the cemetery — said the government would take action. Later on Feb. 19, he held a moment of silence at the Holocaust memorial in Paris. Meantime, there were about 70 protest marches in France. Protestors held signs that read “That’s Enough.” Former French presidents Francois Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy joined the march, as did much of Prime Minister Edouard Philippe’s cabi- net and most major political party leaders. moving in with her boyfriend.

After de Groen and her boyfriend were guests at a barbecue with school trustees and student parents, she said the school told her in a “threatening” tone that it was time to marry.

Millennials ranked Israel 49th in the Best Countries Index, compared to 30th by prior generations. In addition, 84 percent of those surveyed were unaware of the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement. The study concluded that Israel isn’t properly targeting itself to the young, who see it as a religious country. “To succeed,” CEO of Vibe Israel Joanna Landau said, “we must join forces around a common vision and develop a consis- tent message about Israel in the world.” The survey, which was presented on Feb. 20 to Israeli President Reuben Rivlin, included 4,000 people between the ages of 15 to 55 spread across 12 countries. Measles Vaccination Approved by Judge An Israeli judge ruled in favor of a divorced woman who wanted to vaccinate her 12-year-old daughter against measles over the wishes of the father, The Jerusalem Post reported. The father had argued that “there’s no chance she’ll contract measles” and that his daughter “doesn’t want to [be vaccinated].” The mother has full physical custody of the child. Judge Yehoram Shaked’s verdict included testimony from Lior Ungar, a Sheba Medical Center doctor who said, “If an amuse- ment park had a roller coaster ride in which one out of 600 chil- dren who rode on it would be ejected from the ride and killed, would you allow your child to get on it? That’s measles.” In November, the Ministry of Health reported that there were 1,334 measles patients in the country.

Meantime, suburbs and mid-sized towns are experiencing growth, including Ramat Gan, Rosh HaAyin and Hod Hasharon in central Israel; Afula and Hadera in the north; and Ashkelon in the south. For example, Tel Aviv suburb Ramat Gan took in 9,180 new residents, of which 2,593 are former Tel Avivians. Only 1,632 Ramat Gan residents, however, moved into Tel Aviv. Rosh HaAyin took in 5,223 new residents, while Ashkelon welcomed 4,270 and Hadera claimed 3,341.

Orban was one of several Central European prime ministers meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “I just informed the prime minister that the Hungarian government decided to open a trade representation here with diplomatic status,” Orban said. “So we will have an official presence in Jerusalem as well.” Afterward, Netanyahu said via a statement that Slovakia intends to open an innovation and cultural center in Jerusalem; that dovetails with a Czech Republic announcement about the opening of an honorary consulate called the Czech House in the capital city. l JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Hours: NEXT DAY steinsfamousdeli.com Order WIDTH: Online 5.5 IN; DEPTH: NAME: FAMOUS DELI/STEVE STEIN; 11 IN; 7:30AM-6:30PM COLOR: MON-FRI WEEKEND DELIVERIES SAT 7AM-6:30PM 215-673-6000 Call For Details BLACK; AD NUMBER: 00083385 SUN 7AM-6PM SPECIALS Wednesday, February 27 - Tuesday March 5 Look for our specials on our website & by email OUR OWN HOMEMADE GARLIC ROAST BEEF EXTRA SPECIAL 7 $ 5 99 $ 3 99 $ 5 99 $ 6 99 $ 11 99 $ 99 GARLIC ROAST BEEF LB BY THE LB.

And if that’s not enough inducement, the German capi- tal is affordable and welcoming. Walking the streets of Berlin, the capital of past and present Germany, it is impossible to escape history. The city dates from the 13th century and has experienced centuries of Prussian and German political achievements and turmoil and was essentially destroyed during World War II. It also played a huge role in the Cold War with its infamous Berlin Wall. Despite being occupied and divided in the aftermath of World War II, contemporary Berlin has recovered smartly in the last generation. Its architectural mixture of new and old reflects both its history and the city’s deliberate and ongoing choice to recover fully from its destruction. Its Holocaust Memorial, Jewish Museum and historical mark- ers are evidence that the city is trying to both remember and denounce its Nazi past. Although the city gleams with new skyscrapers and striking modern architecture, visitors can find many restored and/or preserved buildings such as the Reichstag and city gates. With its many trendy clubs and restaurants, Berlin has attracted throngs of young people and has again become a significant business center. With smart shopping streets, a vibrant street café scene and great museums, Berlin is defi- nitely worthy of a visit, espe- cially since its hotel rates are among the lowest in Europe. 2019 is a good time to visit 12 FEBRUARY 28, 2019 The Fernsehturm (TV Tower) is visible from most of central Berlin. It boasts a popular rotating restaurant.

JEWISHEXPONENT.COM JEWISH EXPONENT TODAY’S BERLIN has a thriving Jewish community despite the decimation of Jews during the Holocaust. Among the city’s most illustrious past Jewish res- idents were philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, Fanny Mendelssohn, Rosa Luxemburg and Albert Einstein. A Jewish presence in Berlin dates to at least 1295, when Jews were mentioned in a master wool weaver’s certificate forbidding wool merchants from trading with them. Early Jews lived mostly in a Jewish quarter, but some wealthier Jews lived elsewhere. In 1671, 50 Jewish fami- lies moved there from Vienna, invited there by Frederick William of Brandenburg, to help with war reconstruction. During the reign of Frederick the Great (1740-1786), Jews enjoyed some freedom and prosperity. Eighteenth- century Berlin Jews were typically bankers and traders, and a few served as court Jews. The edict of 1812 finally bestowed Prussian citizen- ship upon the Jews. Many 19th-century Berlin Jews were prominent in journalism, literature and the arts, although they faced strong and consistent anti-Semitism. By the 1920s, the city was home to about 70,000 Jews, albeit part of their environment was a backdrop of anti-Semitic culture. Most were forced to flee Germany after Hitler’s rise to power, and 55,000 perished in the Holocaust. From late 1942, only Jewish laborers employed in vital war production were safe from deportation. After the war, the community had a registered mem- bership of 5,070, most with non-Jewish spouses; 1,321 survived the war by hiding, and 1,628 returned from con- centration camps. By 1970, there were about 5,600 Jews. By the 1990s, however, Berlin’s Jewish population exploded with immigrants from the former Soviet Union and elsewhere. The current Jewish population is about 100,000 out of roughly 3.6 million. Today, there is a Jewish Museum, a Holocaust memo- rial, three Conservative congregations of varying size, four Reform congregations and six Orthodox congrega- tions. Kosher food is obtainable, and there are several tours of Jewish Berlin available. Unfortunately, despite this renaissance, anti-Semitism still exists. An April 2018 article in The New York Times chronicled its presence, despite official government efforts to stamp it out. l OPEN 24 HOURS NAME: FACENDA WHITAKER LANES; WIDTH: 3.625 IN; DEPTH: 1.75 IN; COLOR: BLACK PLUS Enjoy Facenda Whitaker Lanes ONE; AD NUMBER: for 00083088 Total Family Fun!

Again, useless, Brooklyn was too exciting. Budow described the enor- mity of Brooklyn’s victory to the students. The event seemed bigger than the Super Bowl, he said. Her victory was like the Abrams’ basketball team beat- ing the 76ers. “I said, ‘Susan, you don’t have a chance to win,’” he recalled. Meanwhile, his wife, Susan Fuchs, Brooklyn’s other owner and her primary trainer, stood off to the back, keeping Brooklyn as quiet as she could. After one growl, Budow raised his eyebrows to the assembly. “She’s telling you to be quiet,” he said. Fuchs, chair of the depart- ment of psychiatry at St. Francis Medical Center in Trenton for more than 20 years, now runs her own private practice.

She ended up getting her master’s degree at the University of Denver relating to the subject a few years ago. When she found Brooklyn at a breeder in Calgary, Canada, she knew almost immediately that Brooklyn was a good candidate to be a future therapy dog; Brook, for short, ran right up to her. “I said, ‘You know what, I think she’s good with people,’” Fuchs recalled. Now, she’s an active therapy dog, registration and all, train- ing up with extra classes a few times a month, helping Fuchs give the children she works with confidence and comfort during their sessions. Her victory was unbeliev- able, Budow told the students. As Fuchs later said, the politics involved in tailoring a dog’s performance and grooming to specific judges, not to mention the long hours and resources that need to be poured into training, are often prohibitive to those who don’t spend their lives doing such a thing. The people of Westminster, well … “It’s a very snobby group of people,” he said. “These Westminster people have a dif- ferent view of the world.” Nevertheless, he focused on the positives. He showed her ribbon off to the crowd, even as he groused that it came with no cash prize. He recalled the story of Brooklyn’s inability to relieve herself on pavement, so accli- mated she’s become to the roll- ing green in Bucks County; consequently, Brook lyn was ferried to Central Park, where she did her business in dignity. Budow noted that he was approached by another com- petitor who told him how happy she was to see him and his wife — the first visibly Orthodox Jews she had ever seen at Westminster in her 25 years of attendance. “This is such a great lesson for your people,” he told the children. “You can dream the JEWISH EXPONENT Brooklyn at Westminster Photo provided Students sit as still as they can for the presentation. Jesse Bernstein impossible dream!” Im tirtzu … Indeed, it was an improba- ble victory. “I was absolutely shocked,” Fuchs said. “It was so totally unexpected.” A lot of dogs, Fuchs said, are sent away to handlers for years at a time, only rarely see- ing their actual owners. Fuchs, meanwhile, did the majority of the training for Brooklyn. Additionally, the gung-ho mem- bers of the dog show world are out every weekend, establishing a rapport with the judges. Some even go so far as to do Academy Awards season-style campaigns for their pups, taking out ads in the industry magazines. Fuchs introduced a short video compiled of Brooklyn’s victory to the students, show- ing as she was trotted around a small ring by a gray-haired woman in heels and a red pant- suit. There was also a clip of Brooklyn’s award presentation, as she panted happily. The floor was opened for ques- tions, as well as comments asked in the form of a question. “I’ve never seen a dog with so much fur,” one student asked. “I’m from Brooklyn,” another inquired. “How old is Brooklyn?” She’s 4, was the answer. “What is Brooklyn’s lifespan?” Probably another decade. “Can she do a backflip?” That’s a negative. One student stood up, raised his hand, was called upon, and with the eyes of the room upon him, got too bashful and sat back down. Speaking of sitting: The conclusion of the Q&A led into a display of Brooklyn’s talents. She rolled over on the ground, she spun around on her hind legs, and yes, she sat. “That’s better than my class at sitting,” one teacher called out. “You don’t have to go to the circus, come to Abrams,” Budow told the students. After the presentation ended, students were invited to pet Brooklyn on their way to class. Though Fuchs thought it might be a bit overwhelming for Brooklyn, she seemed to enjoy the attention. l jbernstein@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0740 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM H eadlines Parkland Continued from Page 1 went through because I want them to feel something,” said Barrack, who wore a red sweatshirt with “#DouglasStrong” emblazoned across the front. “I want them to be touched by something so they know what it’s like.” Spea kers i ncluded 10th-grader Zoe Freedman, who introduced Barrack; 10th-grader Sydnee Ostroff, who shared statistics of gun violence; and freshman Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-District 4), who gave an overview of the gun control legislation she introduced to Congress on Jan. 30. A group of students also sang at the event. Barrack shared her experi- ence of the shooting and how students at her school have since struggled with trauma and depression. That day began nor- mally for her. She was read- ing The Catcher in the Rye in her fourth-period class when gunshots rang out, and she dropped her book. The students knew what to do because of the school’s active shooter drills. She and her classmates crowded behind the teacher’s desk in the corner. She heard gunshots “like pots and pans banging against each other,” screams from students in other classrooms and shouts of “Put your hands up!” Those shouts were from offi- cers who had arrived at the scene. But Barrack thought they were a group of shooters in the building. When those officers broke down her classroom door, she thought she was about to die. The officers escorted the stu- dents out and instructed them to keep their eyes forward. Students looked down anyway, and Barrack glimpsed bodies and bullets on the ground. The air was full of smoke. “That was it for some peo- ple,” Barrack said. “That was it for a lot of my friends. I knew seven of the victims.” JEWISHEXPONENT.COM U.S. Rep. Madeleine Dean talks about gun violence. She is surrounded at school by daily reminders of the trag- edy. Students and teachers sometimes break out into sobs. In one of her classes, she sits next to a student who was shot. “It was an accomplishment to even go back to school,” Barrack said. “A lot of people transferred schools because the environment of the school was so different. Not even just the environment, the people changed. My friend- ships changed. I’m not friends with my best friends anymore, and I’d rather be friends with freshmen because they’re not depressed and they’re not on antidepressants.” Later in the event, Dean spoke about her bill, the Undetectable Firearms Modernization Act, which would prohibit the pos- session of a firearm that is undetectable by airport-level detection devices. According to the Gun Violence Archive, close to 16,000 people were killed and more than 28,000 were injured by firearms in 2018. “What’s awful is we’re no longer surprised,” Dean said. “Think about it. This week, we marked the anniversary of the Parkland horrific tragedy and massacre, and then on Friday, the day after the Parkland anni- versary, we watched another horrific mass shooting unfold at a company in Aurora, Ill. Six dead, including the shooter, and at least seven wounded. Just another day in America.” Rachel Eisenman, an 11th-grader and co-president of KIFTY, said the group of teens organized the gun control preven- tion event in about two weeks. “Me and my friends, we really did that. We pulled that off,” Eisenman said. “We were really proud of ourselves and all the work we had done.” In mid-January, Rabbi Stacy Eskovitz Rigler, director of reli- gious education, took the syna- gogue’s confirmation class on its annual trip to Washington, D.C., as part of the Religious Action Center for Reform Judaism’s L’Taken Seminar. There the students chose to lobby their representatives for gun violence prevention, and one student, Freedman, shared her version of events from the Parkland shooting. It was a story Freedman shared again at the event on Feb. 19, when she introduced her camp friend, Barrack. On Feb. 14, 2018, when Freedman heard about the shooting, she had texted Barrack, wanting to see if she was OK. “Three hours,” Freedman said. “Three hours I sat, staring at my phone, waiting, waiting for that one notification telling me she was alive.” At a KIFTY meeting in early February, Rigler suggested to the students that they should organize an event honoring Parkland. The students got to work organizing the event, with guidance from Rigler and others. Freedman reached out to Barrack about speak- ing at the event, while Ostroff wrote to Dean’s office.

They made their own flyers and press releases. “I want my teens, who are post-B’nai Mitzvah, to know that their responsibilities and opportunities as Jews in America begin at age 13,” Rigler said. “For them, they were able to truly live out what it means to be a modern Jewish teenager. They were able to speak out for justice, they were able to give voice to suffer- ing and they were able to take action to save a life or save many lives, and they did that all in a Jewish context.” l szighelboim@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 What Happens To Your Exploring the New Field of Religious Neurotheology What Happens To Your Brain during Religious Experiences?

Several years later, when I was the news editor of this publication, I was told by the then-executive editor that I could go as far in this industry as I wanted, even one day suc- ceeding him on the masthead of the Jewish Exponent. Six months later, I stunned both my friends from college and the mentor who gave me my first post-university job when my wife and I — with three kids in tow — left Philadelphia and the Exponent to establish a new life in Israel. Life has a funny way of coming full circle. Just nine years after making aliyah, I was back in my native Philly to lead the Exponent as its editor-in-chief. Four years after that, I am leaving the Exponent yet again … to prac- tice law. (I will graduate from Temple University’s Beasley School of Law in May, and sit for the bar exam in July.) I’ve always told my chil- dren, who now number 10, that far from being something to fear, change is something that should be embraced — even to the point of seeking it out when necessary. Since my wife and I got married as students at the University of Pennsylvania, we’ve moved six times, calling University City, Bala Cynwyd, Beit Shemesh, Florida, Baltimore and Overbrook Farms home. And even as I embark on a new career as an attorney — hav- ing previously spent more than two decades as a journalist and several years as a commercial pilot and flight instructor — my wife is pursuing her doc- torate in psychology. Each step of the way, the twists and turns of our path around the North Atlantic have seen our family grow, the challenges quickly giving way to opportu- nities, thereby producing more challenges and continuing the cycle of life. I can only hope our children, for whom resilience isn’t so much a notion as it is an animating principle, have been as blessed by us and our journey as we are by them and their ener- getic spirit. But while opportunity offers the promise of a better tomor- row, change is often bittersweet. Two years ago, I dedicated this column to my son Sefi’s Bar Mitzvah. I had dreamed of being able to do that for my son Mendel’s this June, but as so fre- quently happens, the Almighty had other plans. So I shall use what little space I have left here to speak directly to my son, whose Torah portion is the meaty sec- tion known as Shelach. In that parshah, Moses sends spies to the land of Israel to scope out its breadth, the quality of its produce and the strength of its inhabitants before the Jewish people, on the precipice of their conquering it, cross into it. Unpredictably, a majority of the spies give a factually accu- rate but improper report, fool- ishly concluding that the same people who had been delivered from Egypt would not be able to settle the Holy Land. Those who heard the report were whipped into such a frenzy that they refused to go; their punishment was to die in the desert, leav- ing their children to inherit the land of milk and honey. What were the people, who witnessed with their own eyes the miracles of the plagues and the splitting of the sea, afraid of? One explanation is that given the choice between divine revelation in the desert and the demands of physical toil in the agricultural society planned in the land of Israel, they preferred effortlessly receiving their spirituality rather than working for it. To be sure, it was a ratio- nal choice, but according to the Torah, it was a completely wrong one. Too often in life, the promise of comfort confounds us; we tend to confuse the reality of what we have for the reality of what can be. A person should always be happy with what he has, of course, but he should also not be afraid to embrace the potential for change. Change is not a good in and of itself, though. And it needn’t — some might say shouldn’t — be radical. For the generation in the desert, settling the land was a categorical shift in their expe- rience. But for the person who is used to reviewing a piece of knowledge 100 times, the 101st time is a completely new reality. Sometimes, moderation is rad- ical enough, and so in a world bounded by two extremes, be a radical moderate. As you go through life, you will be faced with choices. Always know that the changes you are presented with are not the entire realm of available paths. Moving ever so slightly to the left or to the right, mod- erate though it is, might just be the change necessary to open the door to a new opportunity. And when that opportunity comes, don’t be like the spies. Seize it with the knowledge that Divine Providence has placed it there. If it doesn’t work out — or even if it does — there’s always law school. l Joshua Runyan has been the editor-in-chief of the Jewish Exponent for the past four years. He has loved every minute of it, and wishes the incoming editor, Liz Spikol, the best of luck. Trump Repeats Mistake of Obama’s “Peace Processors” BY STEPHEN M. FLATOW PAST U.S. administrations invested so heavily in fruit- less attempts to facilitate Arab-Israel negotiations that American envoys came to be known as “peace processors” — that is, they were so focused on maintaining the appear- ance of a “process” that they couldn’t face up to the obvious fact that the Palestinian Arabs just don’t want peace. In other words, for the 16 FEBRUARY 28, 2019 Obama administration and its predecessors, process was more important than peace. Is the Trump adminis- tration repeating Obama’s mistake? U.S. envoys Jason Greenblatt and Jared Kushner have announced that they will soon be heading back to the Mideast for yet another round of diplomacy concerning their not-yet-revealed “peace plan.” The administration’s persistent courtship of the Palestinian Authority is puz- zling precisely because it seems to be odd with the statements of senior U.S. officials and envoys. After the murder of Israeli Rabbi Raziel Shevach a year ago, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, rightly pointed out that Palestinian Authority “laws will provide [the killers] financial rewards. Look no further to why there is no peace.” The Palestinian Authority responded by calling the American ambassador a JEWISH EXPONENT “son of a dog” and demanding that he be added to the U.S. “global terror list.” In an address last September, Friedman remarked that “since 1994, the United States has thrown more than $10 billion in humanitarian aid to the Palestinians,” yet “we found that these expenditures were bringing the region no closer to peace or stability, not even by a millimeter.” In December, the ambas- sador tweeted: “The Pal Authority maintains laws that will compensate these terror- ists and their families for their heinous acts. The PA can be a political body OR a sponsor of terror, not both.” It’s pretty obvious which one of those the Palestinian Authority has chosen. White House envoy Jason Greenblatt likewise has shared some blunt words about the Palestinian Authority.

Under his guidance, the edi- torial section deeply engaged our readership and encour- aged passionate responses, with fresh commentary that tackled everything from the U.S.-Israel relationship to the opioid epidemic to local zon- ing laws. During his tenure, Runyan made sure readers were up to speed on issues affecting their day-to-day lives, always capturing the unique intersection between Jewish and Philadelphia life. The Exponent is the sec- ond-oldest continuously pub- lished Jewish weekly in the United States, and in its 131 years of existence it has not as publisher, while the editorial team will continue to report on pertinent Jewish Federation and community news and events to keep the audience engaged and informed. As we wish Runyan well as he prepares for the next step in his career, we are incredibly grate- ful that two years ago he hired reporter and editor Liz Spikol. Spikol, a lifelong Phila- delphian with an extensive and estimable local journalism career, will take over as editor- in-chief beginning with next week’s issue. We expect she will bring a new perspective, energy and excitement while maintain- ing the fresh and original con- tent that Exponent readers are now accustomed to. I encourage everyone to Whether you enjoy opinion pieces or news features, or recipes or engagement announcements, the Exponent will remain your go-to place for “what it means to be Jewish in Philadelphia.” A native Philadelphian, Runyan had a great perspective and impeccable credentials to spearhead the Exponent’s next editorial chapter. Over the last four years, with Runyan’s leadership and a renewed focus on reader input, we have seen our cherished community paper flourish and prosper. Through thought- ful crafting of breaking news coverage and local commu- nity profiles, Runyan brought missed delivery of a single issue. The changing of an edi- tor will not deter the Exponent from remaining the essential source for Jewish news source in our region.

Josh, thank you for your time and dedication, and Liz, welcome to your new role. l Naomi Adler is the president and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia. KVETCH ’N KVELL Agreeing to Agree, and Disagree I AGREE WITH the authors of a recent article that tikkun olamism, the exclusive focus by liberal Jews on repairing the world via social justice as the totality of their Judaism, evinces an existential threat to the Jewish people (“Tikkun Olam: A Return to Our True Mission,” Jan. 31). I also agree with the authors that those congregants of Beit Tikkun Olam should recognize the state of Israel for what it is — a not-perfect-but-much-better- than-average country when it comes to their secular religion’s core tenets: free speech, free press, religious freedom, women’s rights, gay rights, minority rights, an independent judiciary, public education, economic freedom and on and on. But for us Jews who believe that there is no creator of the universe, and for our fellow Jews who at least do not believe that the God of Moses commanded the Jewish people to obey His commandments, the challenge is to figure out what in Judaism is the baby and what is the bathwater. Unfortunately, for some of us, the closer we look, the more bathwater we see. As a result, my fellow liberal Jews have grasped onto tikkun olam as a lifesaver thrown to someone who has fallen overboard into the Sea of Reasonable Doubt. Tikkun olamism is just a symptom of the real existential threat to the Jewish people: disbelief.

Aside from the frustration that inev- itably results from navigating an inaccessible world, having a visible disability means I also feel a constant need to prove myself and added pressure to excel and disprove societal biases about people with dis- abilities. I felt this pressure at school, I feel it now at work, at the theater and even on my weekly trips to the grocery store, where I am met with averted eyes and looks of pity. However, living with a disability has also helped me channel this frustration into a fruitful career at the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), where I help lead the Jewish community’s efforts to advocate for and with people with disabilities — including our annual Jewish Disability Advocacy Day, where Jews with disabilities and our allies converge on Capitol Hill. This event, which brings together professional and lay volunteers from across the Jewish Federation system and beyond, is one crucial way of ensuring that we don’t just talk about disability acceptance and inclusion in our places of wor- ship or inside the Jewish com- munity. Instead, we actively lift our voices and fight for change. At this year’s Jewish Disability Advocacy Day on Feb. 26, advo- cates urged Congress to pass two key bills that will help disabled Americans live independent lives without fear of bankruptcy due to medical costs. One of the major reasons why I’ve been successful as a lobbyist and disability self-ad- 18 FEBRUARY 28, 2019 vocate is that I have a measure of financial security thanks to my Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Account. ABLE Accounts allow people with disabilities and their fam- ilies to establish tax-advantaged savings and investment plans. These accounts ease financial strain for people with disabili- ties by allowing them to with- draw their own tax-free savings to pay for costly disability-re- lated expenses. Thanks to my ABLE Account, I have money set aside for disability-related expenses, such as mobility devices and various therapies. Currently, to be eligible for an ABLE account, one must receive a disability diagnosis prior to age 26. While many Americans, like myself, are diagnosed with a disabil- ity early in life, millions of Americans with disabilities are prevented from access- ing this critical financial tool because their diagnosis came later in life. Due to this age cutoff, adults who acquire their disability later in life, such as individuals with spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain inju- ries, Lou Gehrig’s disease, and multiple sclerosis, are barred from this essential program. The ABLE Age Adjustment Act (S. 817/H.R. 1874 in the last Congress) would raise the age cutoff to 46, ensuring that more than 6 million Americans can achieve financial stability and access to essential disability-re- lated health services. For the past three years, I have worked with disabil- ity rights lobbyists, advocates and self-advocates to urge Congress to reauthorize the bipartisan Money Follows the Person (MFP) program, which is in jeopardy. MFP is one of the longest-running and most successful demonstrations in Medicaid. Thanks to this pro- gram, more than 88,000 people with physical and intellectual disabilities, mental illness and senior citizens in 47 states have transitioned from institutional settings back into home- and community-based services. As a result of MFP, thousands of par- ticipants who need long-term services and support can suc- cessfully transition from insti- tutions back to their own homes and communities. Despite its success, MFP expired in September 2016, leaving states scrambling to use their own funds to continue these posi- tive efforts to integrate seniors and people with disabilities into the community. The efforts of the disability rights and advo- cacy community have not gone unnoticed. Last month, the Medicaid Extenders Act of 2019 was signed into law. While a good first step, this legislation only extends MFP until March. We must continue to advocate for a long-term solution. This is why we are focusing our energy on advocating for the bipar- tisan, bicameral EMPOWER Care Act (S. 2227/H.R. 5306 in the last Congress). At the heart of these two programs is a commitment to caring for all members of our community. To me, being Jewish is about the bonds of connection that help uplift all members of our community — and way beyond that. Jewish Disability Advocacy Day will demonstrate the power that this community can have when we think beyond aware- ness and acceptance alone, and work to make inclusion a real- ity for millions more people throughout the country. l Aaron Kaufman is a senior legislative associate at the Jewish Federations of North America.

It’s time to speak the truth.” And in a Dec. 11 op-ed on FoxNews. com, Greenblatt wrote: “The Palestinian Authority contin- ues to reward terrorists and their families and fails to con- demn Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israelis. It also defends Hamas, an unrepen- tant terrorist organization.” Just last week, Greenblatt tweeted to a P.A. spokesman: “You’re doing nothing [for peace].

I guess that would be something like: “One glorious Palestinian martyr viciously murdered by Israeli Nazis while trying to liber- ate Palestine, plus two heroic Palestinian fighters savagely slaughtered by Israeli criminals One of the most reprehen- sible images of the pre-Trump Middle East “peace process” years was that of then-Sec- retary of State Madeleine Albright taking off her high heels so she could run after Yasir Arafat down the hall- way when he stalked out of the negotiations over some trivi- ality.

Featuring a quartet called The Un4gettables, the show was co-created by one of the singers, Lisa Sherman, and Academy Award-winning songwriter Franke Previte of Dirty Dancing fame. The show is directed by Michael LaFleur, a veteran of Las Vegas stage shows, among other venues. The show tells the story of a producer and four women who compete to become superstars, all in service of saving a leg- endary nightclub. For Sherman, co-creator of the show and one of its stars, the show is the summation of everything she’s spent her career doing. In true diva fashion, Sherman declines to disclose her age. “Let’s just say I’m old enough to say ‘no’ to that ques- tion. I am ageless. I am an age- less diva,” she laughed. The Rumson, N.J., native grew up as one of the hand- ful of Jews in her town, sing- ing and dancing from a young age. She joined her first dance company at 15, and went to Adelphi University to study dance. Right after school, she left for New York, where she’s performed on and off since — as a Rockette, and as a personal trainer sponsored by Nike on the side, for good measure. Calling All Divas began as Songbird, which featured Sherman alone singing the songs of the divas she had grown to love, starting with divas of the ’30s and ’40s and going to the likes of Bonnie Raitt.

Since its Netflix release — it originally premiered in Israel in 2013 and ran for two seasons — word has spread. On social media, people are recommending the show to their friends, and reviews have lauded Shtisel for portraying the ultra-Orthodox as “ordinary” people. What is certainly true about the show is that its storylines and the actors’ performances are so engrossing, it’s almost easy to forget about the char- acters’ peyot and sheitals. This is probably because the stories aren’t about how the charac- ters’ struggle with their reli- gion, unlike other portrayals of the Orthodox in mainstream media, such as One of Us, Disobedience and The Chosen. Instead, they are about love or loss or other universal stories. That certainly does not mean their ultra-Orthodoxy is merely incidental. It shapes the sto- rylines, such as in one plotline where a main character searches for love during hotel lobby dates arranged by a matchmaker. The way the show follows its characters and its subtle, slow drama is reminiscent of Amazon Prime Video’s Transparent, another show about a Jewish family. Shtisel’s primary focus is on the family’s patriarch, Shulem Shtisel (Dov Glickman), and his youngest son, Akiva (Michael 22 FEBRUARY 28, 2019 From left: Michael Aloni as Akiva Shtisel and Dov Glickman as Shulem Shtisel Screenshots from the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival trailer Neta Riskin as Giti Weiss Aloni), the last of Shulem’s chil- dren to still live at home. Shulem is an imposing man in his 60s with a dark gray beard, whose wife passed away about a year before the start of the show. He works as the teacher and later principal of a cheder and has a penchant for falling asleep in front of the Talmud as he studies late into the night. His rigid demeanor, sense of duty to tradition and attempts to control his offspring might spark some dry laughter in viewers. During the series, he spends time with a few widows and divorcees but is reluctant to settle down with any of them, seemingly more interested in their cholent. Akiva, on the other hand, is a romantic and a dreamer. (Sometimes literally, such as when in the first episode, he starts a heater loan program after dreaming about being cold — in the early spring.) He’s a young man in his mid-20s, fresh out of yeshiva and starting a job as a teacher at his father’s Michael Aloni as Akiva Shtisel Shira Haas as Ruchami Weiss cheder, while nursing aspira- tions of becoming an artist. Outside of work and his time sketching animals at the zoo, he meets young women in hotel lobbies for dates. He’s in pur- suit of true love and has been disappointed by his dates so far. Then, he meets Elisheva (Ayelet Zurer), an older woman and twice-widowed mother of one of his students. He pursues her, while she struggles with guilt over the deaths of her husbands. Aloni shines in this show. His performance exemplifies how the show almost makes you forget that its characters are Haredi. Akiva’s status as both an insider and an out- sider (he’s accepted as one of the Haredi community, though considered somewhat peculiar) provides the secular audience with a relatable perspective and an entry point into the insular Haredi community. The show also follows other members of the family, in par- ticular Akiva’s sister, Giti Weiss JEWISH EXPONENT (Neta Riskin), a homemaker and mother of five. After her husband abandons their family and stops sending money from Argentina, where his work as a shochet takes him for months at a time, Giti struggles to make ends meet. She keeps her situa- tion a secret from almost every- body so as to make it easier for her husband to return. The only one who knows is her teen- age daughter, Ruchami (Shira Haas), who fills in as parent for her younger siblings. Other important characters in the family at the start of the series include Shulem’s octogenarian mother Malka (Hanna Rieber), who has taken to watching soap operas in her nursing home, and Zvi Arye (Harel Piterman), Akiva’s older brother, whose lighthearted escapades are maybe intended to release tension from the show but which instead take time away from other more com- pelling storylines. Shtisel’s Netflix release has renewed interest in the show to such a degree that Dikla Barkai, a producer for the pro- duction company behind the show, told The New York Times that the creators are thinking about creating a third season. That popularity has been evident in Jews from across the religious spectrum. One of the show’s creators, Yehonatan Indursky, grew up in a Haredi family, which lends the show its needed authenticity. “Shtisel gives secular Israelis, live-and-let-live Jewish Americans of all persuasions, and non-Jews alike a glimpse into the myste- rious and cloistered world of the ultra-Orthodox,” one Orthodox commentator, Ruchi Koval, wrote for the Cleveland Jewish News. “But when it draws back that cur- tain, here’s what you find: your father, your sister, your neighbor. They are you, and you are they. That’s what makes it so lovable, and that’s what makes it so fun.” l szighelboim@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM YOUR SOURCE FOR BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN BOTH YOU AND YOUR HOME IN 2019 THE LOOK LOOK the part.

That’s according to Sandy Edelstein, owner of Grove 121 in Bryn Mawr, who says that when she buys pieces for her boutique, she’s not thinking about the trends. She’s look- ing for pieces that she likes and that fit the lifestyles of her customers. But trends influence the designers and determine what is available for each season. So even though trends should not be the most important con- sideration when choosing an outfit, Edelstein said, “trends become something that you can’t help but be aware of.” This season, yellow and laven- der are popular colors, Edelstein said, as are mixing different patterns in a single outfit. When it comes to fit, flared pants — or bell-bottoms — have returned. Flared pants look flattering on women, Edelstein said. They elongate figures and balance out hips. High-waisted bottoms are also popular, especially for younger women. One look Edelstein is partic- ularly excited about this season is menswear-inspired clothing for women. This look, which might include a blazer with a more feminine silhouette, is right up Edelstein’s alley. She recently, for example, got a gray-and-white pinstripe suit for her store. The jacket nips in at the waist and the pants have a flared leg, giving it a more feminine twist. “You think about almost men’s shirting but made in a feminine style, whether it be nipped in at the waist or having some kind of a cute detail that makes it different and cool,” Edelstein said. “That’s what I love doing anyways, taking classic things and mixing them up a little.” Menswear-inspired cloth- ing and flared pants are doing the best among her custom- ers.

Elissa Bloom, executive director at the Philadelphia Fashion Incubator at Macy’s Center City, has noticed the menswear-inspired fashion trend as well. It’s going in the other direction, too, she said, with men’s clothing looking a little more feminine. “Men are wearing brighter colors and wearing fl orals,” Bloom said. “It used to be, I remember, that if a guy wore orange or a guy wore pink or purple, that was like, a huge big fashion statement. Now, it’s them wearing more fl orals or carrying a bag.” Like Edelstein, Bloom said that what’s trendy is not the most important element of picking out an outfi t. Th e more successful designers don’t look toward trends, she noted. Consumers are also shop- ping diff erently than they have before, and they’re shop- ping less. In the age of Marie Kondo, Rent-the-Runway, consignment shops and cloth- ing swaps, people invest less in their attire. When they do invest, they save up for that one-of-a-kind special piece to add to their wardrobe. Some in the fashion indus- try are even starting to ques- tion whether fashion shows are becoming obsolete, Bloom said. Now, people see the new styles six to eight months before they hit the market, and by the time a trend gets to the stores, they’ve moved on to the next thing. “You only wear like 20 per- cent of your closet,” Bloom said. “Eighty percent of the things in your closet, you don’t even wear. People don’t want to own or have all of that stuff anymore, and it frees them up to be more stylish and risk-tak- ing in how they dress because Pantsuits are trendy right now. they can experiment without having to invest in purchasing. Th at’s going to continue to be a trend.” Social media is democra- tizing trends, Bloom said, and trends are coming from more places than ever before. Part of that is more cloth- ing targeted to underserved markets, such as clothing for people with disabilities or plus- sized clothing. Pantsuits are becoming more popular, as are colors like pink and yellow. There are also more Orthodox designers and fash- ion bloggers out there now, and Bloom has seen modest clothing, which cover the body but are still modern and femi- nine, becoming more popular all over the world — not just in the Jewish community. When it comes to accesso- ries, jewelry is becoming more bold, Bloom said. Women are choosing to wear one statement piece instead of multiple pieces of jewelry. On the other hand, ath- leisure wear is going away.

Customers are buying a lot more hats now, Shepp said, in a variety of different Prajje Oscar power suit styles. Mixed patterns, pleated skirts and new shapes are also popular. “I’ve been in this business for over 45 years, and what’s exciting in this business is that things change,” Shepp said. “Some people want to go with the change, let’s say, short skirts to long skirts, or all kinds of different things. Some people like to dress as they have been most of their lives, and what- ever makes them feel good is what they should be wearing.” l szighelboim@jewishexponent.com; 215-832-0729 Menswear- inspired fashion is becoming more popular. 312 N.

Clean Lines Embraced in Bathrooms, Kitchens 7 1 % JESSE BERNSTEIN | JE STAFF FOR THIS YEAR’S edition of The Look, the Jewish Exponent spoke to interior design- ers across the area about the trends they’re seeing take off in 2019 when it comes to kitchen and bathroom design. By and large, they agreed that the contemporary, European-style philosophy of clean lines and multi-func- tional spaces that reduce clut- ter are leading the charge. Kitchens “Excess is out,” said Tina Delia of Delia Designs. Delia, an independent inte- rior design consultant based in the Wanamaker Building, draws a line between this trend and the hit Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, a reality show fol- lowing Kondo as she applies her vaunted Konmari system to clut- tered, messy houses. Though not crediting the show completely with the trend, she said, it was at least worth mentioning as a factor. Her clients seem to want to hold on to less. She’s begun to receive more requests for open shelving in the kitchen, in line with min- imalist style that’s becoming more popular. Wider, deeper sinks are in high demand, along with color cabinets and black stainless appliances. “People are being a little bolder with their appliances,” she noted. Katy Lynn (of designs by Katy Lynn) noted that as well. More of her clients have begun to request colored appliances, especially when it comes to ranges. And like Delia, she’s been inundated with questions about larger sinks that can function as a sort of “work station,” she said. These types of sinks can include nesting The Sweater Mill 115 S.

Meanwhile, faucets, REPAIRS she noted, have gone from an afterthought to some- thing you could almost center a room around, she said. Clients are going for “every finish imaginable,” she said. Almost everyone interviewed for this article mentioned gold’s roar- ing comeback for faucets. “‘Oh, but my appliances are stainless steel!’ That doesn’t matter,” she added. Marble countertops seems to be going out, but not because of its look. More people are opting for quartz, a cheaper material that can be made to look like marble but doesn’t require the same level of maintenance; for, say, red wine drinkers, she said, it can be a real pain to be think- ing about the upkeep for marble as it relates to spills. In a sense, less is more seems to be the new mantra for kitch- ens, as the look becomes more industrial, as opposed to the modern farmhouse look of a few years ago, according to Lucks- Hecht. Mixed metals and acryl- ics pop up everywhere you look. Jen Laurens of Tiny Anchor studios has noticed the mixed metal approach, too. “Now people are really doing more in terms of color,” she said. Like Lucks-Hecht, she’s noticed the change in counter- top material preference, if not in style. And like Delia, she’s picked up on the changes that have come with appliances. “Stainless is still around,” she said, “but there’s more of a matte black stainless that’s taking hold.” One interesting observation came with regards to the wood species of cabinets: “Walnut and oak seems to be having a hot moment,” she noted. Bathrooms Laurens spotted the trend mentioned by all the design- ers interviewed: an embrace of tech in the bathroom. “A lot of people are embracing smarter technology,” she said. For the bath, that can mean water temperature settings by remote or music settings for the bathroom. She’s even had clients request medicine cabinets with small TVs that replace their own reflections. Like the kitchen, the bath- room is a place for clean lines, she said. Whereas the other design- ers noticed more of a demand for simple white subway tile in the bathroom, Laurens said she’s actually experienced the oppo- site, noting clients that wanted “more vibrancy” in their tile. Though Lucks-Hecht felt the opposite way, she concurred on the clean lines point. The bath- room “is about luxury now,” she said. “It’s not just a toilet and a sink to get the job done. It’s now JEWISHEXPONENT.COM THE LOOK ing possible” on shower doors. Lynn concurred on the points relating to white subway tile and luxurious showers, adding that “brass is back” in a big way. Delia said more clients seem to be requesting floating vanities. “That’s been around for a little while, but more people are latching on,” she said. Like Lucks-Hecht, she sees that clients look for a “spa-style” bathroom, as opposed to a more spartan, functional room. That means people are willing to take some interesting chances. One recent client decided to put A blue island with a brass pulls and fixtures Jen Laurens the vanity in front of a window in the bathroom. more of a place where people Jacuzzis are out. “I don’t know that people want to feel happy and relaxed That luxurious experience are rushing to put vanities in more so than just functional.” can come in the form of big front of windows, but that did That comfort often comes in the rainheads and body spray happen,” she laughed. l form of higher-end technology, showers, and even the occa- like towel and floor warmers. sional sauna.

If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat, If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet. Don’t ask me what I want it for If you don’t want to pay some more ‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman — George Harrison, “Taxman,” 1966 FROM BENJAMIN Franklin’s certainty regarding “death and taxes” to the Beatles lamenting Britain’s progressive taxes of the ’60s, one theme of human- kind remains consistent regardless of age or era: taxes. And don’t tell me you’re not thinking about it right now. Th e dutiful among us have already met with their accountants and, from what I’m hearing around the coff ee maker, it isn’t looking pretty. Others of us are pro- crastinating — a temporary reprieve from inevitability. But the truth is, long before the Fab Four sang about them, and millennia before our native son Benjamin Franklin complained about them, taxes are actually a biblical notion, and the diff erent types of taxes a society needs to levy in order to function are painstakingly laid out throughout the Torah. Th is week’s Torah por- tion, Vayakhel, also heralds the coming of Rosh Chodesh Adar II, which means that as a maft ir (additional) reading, we add the fi rst of four spe- cial maft ir portions that are added in advance of Purim and Passover. Th is week’s portion, known as Parshat Shekalim, describes one version of such a biblically ordained tax, the Mahatzit HaShekel, the half- shekel tax. In Exodus chapter 30, God speaks to Moses, explaining that he is to take a census of the people; those who are enrolled in the counting shall pay “a half shekel of the sanctuary weight — twenty gerahs to the shekel — a half-shekel as an off ering to the Lord.” Th en, in verse 15, an enjoinder is added to this tax: “Th e rich shall not pay more, and the poor shall not pay less than half a shekel when giving the Lord’s off ering as expiation for your persons.” This extra prohibition, this mandate for the tax to be levied equally among the cit- izens regardless of economic status piques the interest of the commentators. Ramban (Nahmanides) expresses concern that this injunction is equally applica- ble to the rich (who must not add more than a shekel) as it is upon the poor, (who cannot add even an ounce less than the prescribed weight), and per- haps this is why the Ramban does not count this verse as one of the 613 commandments. And the Hasidic commentator Rabbi Moshe Avigdor Amiel sarcastically opines: “Th e rich 2019 CAND LE LI GHT I NG Mar. 1 Mar. 8 are extremely zealous in their observance of this negative commandment, it’s as though they have never transgressed it in their lives!” Now, before we go and institute a national fl at tax based on the above passage, it is important to note that the Bible has several other types of taxes such as Terumot and Ma’asrot, gift s to the priestly classes in the temple and tith- ing to the poor (see Numbers 18; Deuteronomy 14; 26.) Th ese other taxes would be examples of proportional taxes, where each citizen had to set aside one-tenth of their wealth to support the most sacred insti- tutions to the society, as well as to help those in their commu- nity who are less-fortunate. And that is what makes the half-shekel tax all the more remarkable. Whereas the other taxes have clear economic and societal import, this tax is given to the operations of the Tent of Meeting “as expiation for your persons.” To cleanse our sins. 5:34 p.m. 5:42 p.m. Th is type of tax, whose pur- pose is spiritual, cannot be a tax that is levied based on status or class. Th is type of burden must be born on the shoulders of each member of the community, equally. For in this way, says Rabbi Ovadiah ben Ya’akov Sforno, when all the community are lined up in solemn solidarity, “we can- not tell who is rich and who is poor.” So in this, the high holy days of the tax season, let us dream of a time and a world where we can once again give equally and with united pur- pose — because our souls may depend upon it. ● Rabbi Joel Seltzer is the executive director of Camp Ramah in the Poconos.

He leaves behind two children, Claire Libby and Daniel (Lori) Libby and 2 grandchildren, Jacob and Max Libby. Born on June 8, 1920, Cy grew up in Phil- adelphia's Strawberry Mansion. After gradu- ating from Overbrook High school, he atten- ded Pennsylvania State Optometry College. Cy has been called a man of many parts. Cy was an Optometrist, a hearing aid specialist, inventor, publisher, Assistant Professor of Speech and Hearing at Hahnemann Medical School; and most importantly a husband, father and grandfather. He started out as an optometrist in Upper Darby and then fell into his true calling as one of the pioneer hearing aid specialists. Among his many revolution- ary inventions was the infamous "Libby Horn" which he developed and patented in 1982 and then sold in every country. Traveling all over, Cy lectured to thousands about hearing and became world renowned. Upon retiring from his private practice, Cy started a new career teaching "Longevity and Wellness" at Temple University Association of Retired Pro- fessionals where he was well known and loved by all his students and colleagues. Later in life in his 90's, he authored 17 volumes of his self-titled books, "Libby's Random Pieces" which is a collection of notes that he accumulated over his many years of teaching, writing and lecturing. He also got a copyright of a poem titled "The Billy Penn on Top of City Hall." Cy was a true Renaissance Man and will be well missed by everyone who's life was touched by him. Cy's advice is that the key to a long, happy life is choosing your parents wisely. L'Chiam to Life!
